The aim of the individual project is to allow students to undertake a substantial piece of individual work, involving planning, specification, design, execution, evaluation, presentation and report-writing.

Students have one meeting per week with their supervisors throughout the duration of the project.

Reassessments are normally available for all courses, except those which contribute to the Honours classification. For non Honours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt. This is normally grade D3 for undergraduate students and grade C3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions for this course are described below. 

This report will incorporate a year of continuous work so it will therefore not be possible for students to resubmit this work.

The aim of the individual project is to allow students to undertake a substantial piece of individual work, involving planning, specification, design, execution, evaluation, presentation and report-writing.

By the end of the course students will be able to:

1. Manage and organise a large independent solo piece of work;

2. Choose among technologies, tools and approaches and apply them effectively;

3. Synthesise technical skills appropriately to address a single challenging problem;

4. Develop a substantial product which demonstrates technical achievement in computer science;

5. Appropriately evaluate the outcome of their work;

6. Conduct themselves in a professional manner, taking responsibility for the progress of the project, recording their time and effectively using their supervisor's input;

7. Write a coherent, literate dissertation that documents the project, justifies decisions made and sets their work in context;

8. Present their work orally to a technical audience, communicating their project precisely and fluently;

9. Produce concise, informative video summaries of their work.

Students must submit at least 75% by weight of the components (including examinations) of the course's summative assessment.
